Default CSF leak in infant after head trauma

Hi,

My 8 month old had a pretty bad fall and had a fracture skull plus csf leak from her nose. She was put on the spinal drain for 5 days but that didn't seem to do anything for her. She has poor feeding, a lot of mucus on her throat (x-ray confirmed that her bronchial tube is inflamed), most likely the csf fluid. She's been leaking for almost 3 weeks now and I feel so hopeless and just don't know what to do. Can someone please shed some light on this matter? Would she heal on her own? How much longer will this leak continue? We really do not want to go through surgery or another ct scan. I am so bummed out about this whole thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated?
